I think a lot of the issues surrounding this conversation is there is no concrete definition of the problem. Most often we take such a high level view of things and say crime downtown. Well that's an overly vague statement that is so open to different streams. This leads us to think we are having a conversation when we are really talking about different things.

If it's crime are we talking preventative or punitive? I feel a lot of times when we talk about what is going on with Liquor Store thefts we talk about what needs to be done and in the same conversation you hear we need to change how the store operates and on the other side we need more social supports. Well that's all well and good but that's not a conversation, it's just two people talking.

One is talking about what MLCC should be doing and the other about what the government and MHSAL should be doing. Our conversation scope has to be narrowed and kept on track when trying to solve issues.
